MARCO BEZZECCHI AND JORGE MARTÍN IN GOIÂNIA FOR THE FIRST TIME
Aprilia Racing is ready to get back on the track for the second round of the season, this time on the renovated Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia – Ayrton Senna track.

Marco Bezzecchi is headed to Brazil determined to confirm his competitiveness and the positive trend he began in Buriram, where he took pole position and the first victory of the season in the long race. On the other side of the garage, Martín will continue down the path of adapting to the RS-GP26, on which he continues to demonstrate encouraging signs after a positive weekend in Buriram, where he finished fourth in the long race.

Opened in 1974 and named for the legendary Formula 1 driver, Autódromo Internacional de Goiânia – Ayrton Senna stretches out over 3,84 km and has 14 turns which combine long, fast straights with more technical sections.

I’m extremely happy to be going to Brazil and I’m curious to discover this new track. I’m sure it will be great to race in a new country and meet new fans, so I’m highly enthusiastic. We’re hoping to have a good weekend and to work well: there is no lack of motivation on the entire team’s part.
I’m very excited to get started on this new track and I’m confident that the work done in Thailand will give us a good base to work on in Brazil as well. We’ll need to be extremely careful to provide the right feedback, because a new track is always demanding and there will be a lot of things to get dialed in. However, I think that together with Marco’s team, we’ll be able to be competitive. I can’t wait to get to Brazil. It’s a country that I really like a lot.
